  abstract = {{I}n oceans, the noise generated by human activities has reached phenomenal proportions, with considerable harmful effects on marine life. {M}easuring this impact to achieve a sustainable balance for highly vulnerable marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is a critical environmental policy objective. {H}ere, we demonstrate that anthropogenic noise alters the interactions of a coral reef fish with its environment and how this behavioural response to noise impairs foraging. {I}n situ observations on the {M}oorea reef revealed that the damselfish {D}ascyllus emamo reacts to boat passage by moving closer to its coral bommie, considerably reducing the volume of water available to search for prey. {U}sing boat noise playback experiments in microcosms, we studied {D}. emamo's behaviour and modeled its functional response ({FR}), which is the relationship between resource use and resource density, when feeding on juvenile shrimps. {S}imilar to field observations, noise reduced {D}. emamo's spatial occupancy, accompanied by a lower {FR}, indicating a reduction in predation independent of prey density. {O}verall, noise-induced behavioural changes are likely to influence predator-prey interaction dynamics and ultimately the fitness of both protagonists. {W}hile there is an urgent need to assess the effect of anthropogenic noise on coral reefs, the ecological framework of the {FR} approach combined with behavioural metrics provides an essential tool for evaluating the cascading effects of noise on nested ecological interactions at the community level.},
